Forever Beta Feedback Phasing like this is really immersion breaking

I understand why they do it, but it feels like there has to be a more elegant way of handling it, or perhaps a better "overlap" period where someone only moves off your layer when they are no longer visible.

Its why retails world isnt as good, especially the current expansion. Everything is an instance portal. Housing, arcantina, voidstorm, harandar. Nothing feels connected to the world

Yes someone finally gets it. They claimed the world is more connected now because they added eversong/ghost lands into azeroth (instead of the outlands map) but aside from those zones, zul'aman and the new coiled isle being in the world space, every other zone is instanced or cleverly instanced like the vaults of ulatek using the same tech as the zaralek caverns from Dragonflight
